Just Moved to Wapping!

[nem351s]

Sorry, and yes drinks would be cool. When I pick the car up we should all meet up one sunday evening and have a nose round each others cars.

Definitely someone you need to know

I like "alternative" cars and am picking up a DeLorean DMC12 next week.

....there's quite often one parked outside Lilly's in Wapping ...think someone told me that it's the owner's.

Did one of you use to/still park behind the St. Swithins building in the city.

It was a 3.4 996 with a personalised number plate. It has a pistonheads skull and cross bones on the license plate.

Yes sir.

That wasn't your 993 was it? Riviera Blue....

The 5Bs?

[nem351s]

There is a road called Three Colt Street (it ends basically where the footbridge goes of towards Zizzis).

Down this road is a bar opposite the Churchyard called 5B Urban Bar. Friendly bunch in there and certainly different to the other pubs in the area. May or may not be your cup of tea.

[Vesuvius 996]

I'll have to go and see!

The 5Bs?

The Five Bells (or the Urban Bar as its known these days)

and the new name for the Grapes with its locals, the 3B's (just dont let the landlady catch you calling it that ...... )

XJS John,

Do I take it that beautiful burgandy XJS belongs to you?

If so, my flatmate and I love that car.

Have any of you seen the Enzo that lives below the Holmes Place gym?

[nem351s]

Ahh, I looked at your profile. But your XJS looks awesome too.

Other interesting cars spotted on my road are:

Citroen DS
Noble M12
996 GTS RS
Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead
F355 Spider
Bentley Azure
BMW M6 Cabriolet
Aston DB6
1980 911 Turbo cab
Harley Davidson VRod

And once I even saw someone come out of the limehouse Link tunnel in a full on drag car...it had a parachute on the back and everything!!

I know, I can't believe it was street legal. Sure did make a cool noise though.

afraid not mine is a black and leaky manual V12 that is currently undergoing some precussive maintainance

i am actually on westferry road, but if you see any oil puddles on narrow street, you are probably close to where i was last parked

Well, when I pick up the DeLorean, if anyone wants to meet up for a "show and tell" session I would be bang up for it.

[Vesuvius 996]

Yes sir. Email me through my profile.
